He got sacked. Managers get sacked. Singing “you’re getting your contract mutually terminated with predetermined severance pay in the morning” just doesn’t sound as good!

Yes Sean mate I was there. And at the Juve game before it. To be honest I can’t remember too much about the game just everyone bouncing at the end. Was incredible. At the time I was a member of the East Anglia supporters club and got tickets for just about every home game and a few aways between 2003-2006. Not been to Anfield since.

Yeah Sean that game is legendary, I was fortunate enough to be there. Looked over the line from my seat 50 meters away!

Sorry Nine didn’t realise you were picking up Nil for saying clearly over the line as you’re right it wasn’t. But the likely alternative to a goal would have been even worse for Chelsea which gives the whole argument an ironic twist.

To be honest by far the worst person to go on about the ghost goal is a certain Mr Mourinho. He is nearly as bad as Chucky for not able to let it go and hanging on to some disillusioned idea that they have had an injustice served on their team.

So “CLEAR” that 16 years later it’s still being debated.

Not really debated, more just moaned about still by Chelsea fans.

As I said earlier giving the goal was the best decision the ref could of given Chelsea. If not a goal then a penalty and clear red card for Cech’s clumsy challenge on Baros I think it was. You’d then have 85 minutes with a man down and probably a goal down too but instead it was kept even numbers. I’m just thankful Gudjohnsen missed that last minute sitter 😊

You mean the Luis Garcia ghost goal in 2005?

Yeah shouldn’t have been given right? Goalie sent off and a penalty would have been better with 85 minutes of the game still to go? The ref did Chelsea a favour.

Russian linesman in 1966 has to be in with a shout.

Harry Kane scored a hat full of goals against a bunch of butchers, brickies and accountants. He’s back!

Ah yeah get you, fully agree.

Its weird as it’s frustrating not to be able buy players but I’m glad they have this business model where they don’t just accumulate debt or pump their own cash in willy-nilly. I am sure next season it will be better as I’ve said before I think our kitty is based on projected earnings and they should be back to normal levels. We will never be buying 100m players unless someone like Salah is sold however, like what happened with Coutinho.

No worries Brian, it was in context to Liverpools situation, NUFC start buying players and so it can have a chain effect. It obviously applies to everyone that I think next year most teams will be more active. As you may know, there are one or two liverpool fans not exactly happy with this seasons transfer activity!

The Newcastle buying players wasn’t really the point I was making, let’s stick to LFC matters on this thread.

The same Eddie Howe that bought Solanke and Ibe from us for a combined 44m?

We fans always want new players not ever that easy. I can imagine a bit of a shake up in the summer with the likes of origi, Ox and minamino moving on. Hopefully clubs will have more money this year and therfore be a more active transfer market. Can see Newcastle buying some overpriced and obsolete players that clubs want rid of and that could start things moving for everyone else.

But replacing or not replacing the likes of the 3 I mentioned is not the reason we have made a few errors of late (utd game wasn’t that long ago so I won’t say we are I playing bad). I think it’s a combination of slightly altered tactics and players not adapting or making little mistakes that is the cause. Injuries haven’t helped as some players need a good run to get back up to speed and they are not getting it and we lack continuity in the team selection.

Mikus who exactly would you refresh, to keep the team on their toes as you mentioned on the other site. And how exactly have City done this? Most of their core players stick with them until retirement or just before. Aguero, Kompany, Silva, Fernandinho…

Rainbow armbands and laces would be good as images of players wearing them would be broadcast all around the world. Images of the winning captain lifting the trophy with a rainbow armband would would be a strong message although there’s more to Qatari human rights issues than just those affecting the gay community.

What would be very bad but I can see it happening is if FIFA ban players doing such a thing.

I believe the Dutch, German and Norwegian teams have worn t-shirts in support of human rights before qualifying matches. Bigger statement would be for a team to refuse to go but I know that would never happen.

“get drunk and smash the country up” variety”

Is it not a dry country? Although when I spent 10 weeks there I had limited access to a bar but that was on a US controlled airbase.

Like the idea of rainbow laces of armbands.

A lot of objection to this world Cup but will you still watch it? I won’t. Of all the terrible decisions Fifa made awarding the most prestigious event to Qatar has to be the worst. I don’t care that it disrupts the football calender, it’s just football, but I do care about human rights. Fifa awards this as a vanity prize to a nation that suppresses women, imprisons people of the LGBTQ community and has used and killed slaves to build their stadiums for this event. Football is supposedly inclusive and it gets awarded to one of the most non-inclusive countries in the world. What was their advice for gay supporters, basically you can come but don’t do anything sexual or you’ll end up in jail. Absolutely disgusting.

Nope won’t watch a minute of it.

I wouldn’t say bigger issues as such, they are all interlinked. The high line is just one of those things. The press is another. And then under those you have individual performances and mistakes. If performances or mistakes lead to either the press or the line to not function then we are in trouble as we have seen recently. Solution is to cut out those problems, like not have the other two midfielders so high that they get bypassed leaving the DM isolated and easy to play past. This is something I’ve noticed a lot and I think is crux of the matter. Klopp needs time on the training pitch with them to get them playing how they should.

Does anyone here actually care for international football? Like go to the matches level of care. Don’t think I’ve never met a football fan that gives more than an “Well if it’s on i might as well watch it so long as none of my team gets injured” level of care.

Sadly I don’t hink there is a solution except reducing the games by excluding cannon fodder but there would be plenty of objection, not least the FAs who want the TV and gate money.

Sean I know you don’t like the high line but I seriously think if we didn’t play it we would be battling it out for the last europa spots. If our midfield pressed better then then the issues wouldn’t happen. If the defence followed Klopps instructions to drop when the midfield press fails then the issues wouldn’t happen. See Klopp give VvD a bollocking during the Brighton game?

The high line is one of the best tools in liverpools arsenal, just at the moment there are a few things not going 100% to plan.

You’re also going to be hit less (at all?) when the afcon starts. Liverpool lose most of their strike force, Chelsea their no 1 keeper. Safe to say City are favorites.
